Wormholes

Yes I am posting as an alt, i'd prefer not to attract attention to my smallish WH corp. But I had a question

So I have been doing wh's off and on since the start.

I usually do a pot based system, i.e. all gas, salvage, blue loot, ore, pi, etc goes into a pot, and everything is made into t3 stuff and/or is sold and divide among everyone who contributed. I have also done a modification of this, where as the blue loot is sold and divided among the people who ran an op and the rest goes into a pot. The latter worked great when i was first in wormholes, and the former works good on a small scale.

But I am thinking of possibly expanding in the future. So I was curious how larger, more experiences corps (and alliances) make iskies in wormholes, both for the corp to fund fuel, and for the members. So if you all don't mind sharing, it might help me out. I have an idea, but i'd like to compare it to others.

i'll take a look there, but practical experience would help too

Scary the wh forums are, tread with care.

Don't forget to tell a friend where you are going, and make sure to eat your entire gift bag.

That's exactly how my old C5>C3 corp ran and we were all fairly happy. Kept most everybody happy. 0% Tax the PI though, and roll in the cost of the POCOs for 3 months of dues or something.

Pretty sure a couple higher-ups did line their pockets well, but we were all having fun, had isk and didn't mind

I mostly run WHs
Occasionally I get Blue Fire to run an expo for me and they steal their 10 bil orca.
you know, the usual *shrug*

(if youre main income is PI, i feel bad for you)

I guess there's a divide between player ISK and Corp ISK. When I ran BUGRY, we had the 10% sleeper loot tax in place and 10% corp and POCO tax of 5%. This worked out well enough that corp got fleeced for 6 billion by a Director, which isn't much, but it's enough to keep the POSes running.

However, tracking the income, POCO tax made up about 40% of the ISK on most weeks, because you'd only every so often have a real binge of ratting sleepers. Sleeper loot made up most of the rest, and missions tax <10%. This depends if you get your corp blacklisted from incursions by a mass target painting effort to fix sec status and have the incursion bear FC's wetting themselves in fear of Vigils.

Some other corps I've been in, they were making more money off incursion tax than anything else.

Some corps have hisec POCOs earning a bit of ISK, and I'm actually surprised that more hisec POCOs don't flip from time to time. I personally wouldn't suggest it as a way of subsidising the corp wallet in a serious fashion unless you like hisec "PVP". But you could get lucky and bag a good planet with a few dedicated PI alts living in system that give you 5M ISK per day.

However, the majority of ISK that used to be made was from PVP. Corp policy was that non-shiny loot went to corp and got sold. When your corp is killing 100-200 ships a month in PVP, corp earns probably 500-2,000M ISK from pew pew.

So, get out there and pew pew. If you suck, at least someone else's corp is going to be making money from your wrecks!

I'm already in a hole, currently thinking of rebuilding my old corp (this is oogies main) and making it a full on WH corp/alliance. I ask because i want to be sure my corp can earn some iskies to feed pos.

The pot method is working for now. but when i grow idk. i'm thinking of just having the corp buy everything (blue loot, salvage, gas, ore, etc) at -10 to 15% jita. Then either making t3 stuff and selling ti for more profit or selling it hole to recoup the tax. I think this might be fair for members, as if they want they can scan and haul the crap out themselves, but in the long run they would make more iskies as then i could do a SRP/PVP incentive program.

I just kinda wanted ideas, the dues system might work, but i'm wondering if anyone has done what i am thinking.

We keep it real simple.

0% tax and everyone is responsible for their living arrangements (ie fueling their large POS)
